To listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.

  • -- Mark Nepo 马克·尼波

倾听就是不断地放弃所有的期待,把我们的注意力完全地、新鲜地放在我们面前的事物上,而不是真正地知道我们将听到什么或那将意味着什么。在我们的日常生活中,倾听就是轻轻地向前倾,愿意被我们所听到的改变。
